We invite you to join us in the heart of the Costa Rica jungle.

Rafiki Safari Lodge is nestled on an 843 acre private reserve on the pristine Savegre River. This unique rain forest ecosystem is only 30 kilometers from Manuel Antonio on the Pacific Coast. Our "Glamping" experience is a perfect addition to your Costa Rica vacation. In the seclusion of the jungle, the opportunities to enjoy your time with us are endless. Enjoy a float down the Savegre River, horseback rides, nature hikes, world-class birding or relax and utilize the amenities of the lodge itself. Speed down our water slide, soak in our solar powered hot tub, or unwind with a massage. Join us for an unforgettable experience.

Raft, hike or ride horses through the rainforest. All of our adventures are led by professional bilingual guides. We focus on fun, safety and education while showing you treasures the Savegre Valley offers.

The lodge hosts the Lekker Bar and Grill. Our home cooked meals are included with your stay. The South African “braai’ (BBQ) and international cuisine will keep your taste buds happy while the well equipped Lekker bar will keep your spirits up!
